Hi,

Next year I will be starting my programming course and I can't decide which version of Visual Studios to buy. As far as I know there is VS 2008, 2009 and soon 2010 will be available. However, I haven't used VS before so I don't know which version is right for me.

Also, are the versions backwards compatible? I don't know which version my school will be using next year although, going by previous experiences I don't think it will be the latest version available.

Thanks,


Nightwalker
